Mark,
I have both an M5 and M6. I really prefer using the M5. The metering system
is a joy.
It's a spot meter with a simple match needle interface. The size and balance
is perfect and the shutter speed dial is much easier to use that the little
one
on the classic M6.
I suggest you find a shop that has one and play around with it.
The only time I really prefer the M6 is if I need to travel light then the
M6
fits nicely into a waist pack.
